About the Winery
Michèle Mallard-Etchegaray, daughter of the founder, transferred leadership of the 55-hectare estate with 14 appellations to her sons Vincent and Hervé in 2010. The cellar carved into hard limestone houses all the old vintages produced since 1950. The estate produces a wide range of Loire Valley wines including Saumur Champigny, Saumur Blanc, and Crémant de Loire. The diversity of terroirs and grape varieties allows the estate to offer a complete range of wines from the region, all expressing the chalky limestone tuffeau soils characteristic of the Saumurois.
“A 55-hectare estate with 14 Loire appellations, now led by Vincent and Hervé Mallard since 2010, featuring a cellar carved into limestone.”
